Overview

  • The FDA upgraded the July 14 voluntary recall of NH European Style Butter Blend to a Class II risk category on July 30, indicating potential temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
  • The recall covers 64,800 pounds of butter blend sold in 1-pound blocks under UPC 1 00 78684 73961 2 and lot code 5064036503, distributed to 12 U.S. centres and one in the Dominican Republic.
  • No illnesses or injuries have been reported so far in connection with the undeclared milk allergen in the recalled product.
  • Consumers who purchased the affected lot are urged to stop using the butter, return or discard it, and seek medical attention if they experience allergy symptoms.
  • The incident highlights ongoing food-labelling vulnerabilities and follows similar allergen-declaration errors, prompting calls for stricter quality-control measures.
